Learning outcomes
The course supplies (gives) the bases for the interpretation and execution of technical design with methodologies of conventional representation, and also to let the correlation between shape, function and productive processes for the functional elements of the machines and systems.
The course have the purpose to supply the bases required for the interpretation and the execution of the technical design. After a first part dedicated to the geometric design are examined the principal directions for the correct representation of particulars and global design. Is given special account to the function performed of each particular in the whole and to the influence of the productive system for a correct selection (choice) of the shape and a detailed indication of additional information to be included (dimensions, dimensional and geometric errors to be tolerable, etc.).
